GMC Repair: Reply to Vacume Advance query, e mail address, giget


Question
Thanks Auto Help for your expertice. I took the vehiclle to my local mechanic (30 years with GM Shop)who works for himself now out of his home.
He put some giget on the vacume and came up with 22 inches.  He said that they were pulling the vacume off the Highside on the front of the mixer and he moved it to the bottom. Checked the timing and the distributor advance. Didn't touch the timing as told me to try it.  Propane has an octane of 115-125 so ping will be hard to get but said to watch.  The distributor was recurved to come in complete before 3000 RPM.
I appreciate your help in telling me where to look. It certainly helps the mechanic on site to when I can give him some info from one of his peers rather then a novice muttering on.
Great Job - Thanks.

Answer
See what a little advise can do for you.


PLEASE keep your questions on the ALLEXPERTS BOARD because without it, Us volunteers would NOT be needed.

I do not have a staff of people helping me answer your questions, I do it all by my self, Therefore, Due to being retired and a computer on a dial-up connection that is so old it does not even have SPELL CHECKER, So please excuse the TYPO'S.

I do my best to respond to questions within 4 to 5 hours, But  due to the volume of questions I receive on a daily basis I answer them ASAP. If you require a faster response you can e-mail me directly at the below e-mail address as I check it more frequently.:

When you are asked to RATE THIS EXPERT the site only allows for about 10 (TEN) words. Therefore,  I never get to read your full response. You can e-mail me directly at the above said personal e-mail site. But make sure that you RATE ME before e-mailing me directly if you so desire to do so.

Sometimes when you have to replace a part, I will ask you  if I can have the old part, As I rebuild them and sell them for extra income. I will pay the shipping costs as long as it does not exceed $10.00.

There are also times that you have some written information that you just don't understand or need help with it, You can e-mail it to me at the above siad e-mail address or you can fax it to me, But contact me FIRST at the e-mail address and I will give you my fax #.

I am alway in need of Car, Truck and SUV service manuals as well as MOTORS MANUALS and if you would like to donate any that you have I will be more than happy to pay REASONABLE shipping to get them. I do not want any Chilton or Hayes manuals as I personally do not like them as the information is very mis-leading in my opinion.
